An outbreak of pneumonia that’s tearing through schools in China and leaving hospitals overwhelmed is raising concerns among global health experts.
In scenes eerily similar to those seen at the start of the coronavirus pandemic, reports are emerging from the country about massive queues of patients waiting to be seen.
And the warning system that raised the alert this week was among the first to spot Covid when it began to circulate in Wuhan back in 2019.
The system, called ProMED, issued its warning on Tuesday amid reports that hospitals in the capital Beijing were struggling to cope with admissions. There was a similar story hundreds of miles away in Liaoning.
